We all know there are domainers living all over the world. Europe is no exception to this. There is a great opportunity coming up to meet with European domainers and entrepreneurs. MeetDomainers.eu/en is going to be hosting another event in Warsaw, Poland the weekend of September 25 – 27th 2009, at the Warsaw Marriott Hotel.
What I love about this meeting is that MeetDomainers.eu/en has put a real focus on the business aspect of it. As a whole it’s geared not only towards domainers but towards the entrepreneurial domainer. I’ve been saying to you guys lately that I’ve shifted my view of domaining to not just looking at it as an investment, but as a business. At this particular meeting, yes you will socialize, but you will also learn and hear speakers discussing several different areas of legalities having to do with domaining, copyright issues in addition to the topics we always love to talk about like monetization, affiliate programs, web development and more.
There will be experienced special guest speakers like Rafal Agnieszczak. He is the owner of the second most popular socially geared site in Poland named Fotka.pl (photo). Their will be other experienced guests like him sharing their knowledge and tips on their successes and failures. And don’t worry, because there will be English and Polish translators there.
Like their last event, there will be a live auction at some point selling .pl, .eu and .com domain names. Last year they sold names such as adwokaci.pl (lawyers) for $28,000, aparaty.pl (cameras) for $16,800 and fotografie.pl (photographs) for $10,400. They already have a few names listed for sale at this year’s auction such as lekarze.pl (doctors), kobieta.com (woman), aukcja.pl (auction) and many more. For a full listing of names that have been submitted so far please check out their Live Auction page. Last year’s event brought in roughly $90,000 in sales.
If you love to travel you might want to consider going to this event. You can combine your love for travel and domaining all into one trip. If you buy your pass to the show by Sept. 15, 2009 you’ll pay 225 EUR which is roughly $323. Go to their registration page find out more details about pricing and what’s included in your pass like city tours and food.
